The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

I've been here a long time in the background and have since vanished, popping in on rare occasion to see what's going on, so I'll throw in my $0.02

I pretty much threw in the towel when NFL players really started using the game as their political soap box. I watched football on the weekends as a ...

boy oh boy - all those injuries affected the game last week - wonder what the reasoning is this week when we found a way to win :twisted:

doesn't fit the narrative does it? - gotta love it [-X

Obviously, since they're responsible for the team playing poorly, they should also be given credit ...

Penalties cost us the game, some penalty calls were good and when they start calling penalty calls the bad ones will follow.
We played well enough to win, they did good. I even liked the play calling, Gruden is impressing me and the entire staff is championship calibre. We got a very good team ...

That's exactly what I'm trying to get to.

This team is schizophrenic. Under Gruden, we have never really established a clear identity. One week the defense sucks; next game, it's solid.

Same goes for the running game: it's incredibly unbalanced. We commit, sometimes, and results are great. Then ...

I disagree.. It isnt FB and twitter, its lack of giving a Huck!! I'm an admin on a fb redskins page.. We had like two posts to the usual nonstop updates.

When the team is garbage, people don't want to post about it and keep replaying the hurt over and over.. Hell I'm to the point, after ...

You really don't need to reiterate the stuff that's already in your signature. We get it

The NT situation is stupid. If it's that difficult to find one, or one that's good enough at the right money, then it's time to give up on the system

Yes. Exactly right.

I think the truth is that it really IS hard to find a good NT. I'm with you guys on this. Quit trying to play a system where ...

LOL... what else can be said?

I'm not very excited.

Neither the team nor the fanbase are showing any energy at all.

When the cafeteria is serving crap, you don't rush to get in line.

I'll get more invested and excited when the team gives me reason to.

Its almost football season. Could care less about Snyder or Allen at this point.

But I'm starting to get hyped about seeing this guy in action. Check out THIS catch:

Pffft... great WR play won't help anything, didn't you know Dan ...

It's a tough call for me. On one hand, they failed to trade him and straight up told the guy they don't intend to use him yet they won't let him go. That's a pretty raw deal. On the other hand, he's still being paid so he should at least show up and go through the motions.

Not a good situation.

Is the "bow and arrow" still banned?

These guys are long shots, but Yakoo might be fun to watch in camp. Needs to work on conditioning and fundamentals, but those can be coached.

I really wanted Caleb Brantley but I'll bet they think they can get him later.

thankfully not even the 2 bozos were stupid enough to waste a pick on this loser

What the actual *f$ck*? Did you even see the video? The woman hit him first. All he did was defend himself.

Cleveland got a 1st round ...

Nicholson is the first really questionable pick so far. Dude seems like a complete nobody.

He fits the mold of a cover two safety perfectly, although I think they could have gotten him later.


His measurables are great, but the knocks on him are that he lacks toughness, misses tackles, and has ...

Nicholson is the first really questionable pick so far. Dude seems like a complete nobody.

My prediction is that the Redskins will

1. Draft a player

2. Trade down and draft players

3. Trade up and draft a player

If any of those three scenarios happen, the F.O. and Snyder will be lambasted on this board for incompetence.

I get the argument that Brady deserves a lot of the credit for the SB wins, but there are plenty of other coaches with elite QBs like Manning and Brees who haven't won five Super Bowls. I'm not even going to pretend Belichik isn't the GOAT.

That's a pretty good point. Plenty of coaches had their ...

Stop the kicker carousel, please. I'd say it's not as important as the QB carousel, but at least our QB cast-offs generally haven't had any success elsewhere.

What a total waste.

Drafting Cousins was for security. One of three things was going to happen:

1. RG3 doesn't pan out, but Cousins does, so we still have a starting QB for the future.

2. RG3 and Cousins both play well, so we trade Cousins for high draft picks.

3. Cousins sucks. No big deal ...

It's just a passing interest now. Too many years of false hope followed by incompetence, ending with blowing up and starting over.

Snyder refuses to do the right thing and turn team management over to a competent professional, no matter how bad the team is doing. He isn't going to change; the clay ...

I think there needs to be more opposing team's fans in the stands each week. To the point of outnumbering Redskins fans while at home.

It may be hard to hurt Snyder's wallet, especially with the way the NFL shares profits and whatnot, but his ego should be very vulnerable. Opposing fans greatly ...

But the poor management isn't new news.

No you're absolutely right about that. And we - old fans and newer - repeatedly get suckered into thinking they've finally learned from their mistakes. I'm just really tired of it.

I swear this last off season was one of the best I can remember, because ...

As a fan, I'm seriously getting ready to bail and just start playing video games on Sunday afternoons instead. Following the Redskins is more like following some rich d-bag's plaything. No fun anymore.
